Narrative Medicine Program from Yeditepe to Columbia

Assist. Prof. Dr. Burcu Alkan from our Department of English Language and Literature, who teaches Medical Humanities courses at our Faculty of Medicine, visited the world’s first Narrative Medicine program, established in 2000 at Columbia University.

Visiting the program as a guest of Prof. Maura Spiegel to conduct academic observations, our faculty member has taken the initial steps toward establishing official institutional ties between the universities.

We congratulate Assist. Prof. Dr. Burcu Alkan on this initiative and wish her continued success in her academic endeavors.
